Answer:

Roy is 10 years old at present and Joan is 5 years old at present

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> Roy's age

y----> Joan's age

we know that

x=2y ----> equation A

(x+3)+(y+3)=21 ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

(2y+3)+(y+3)=21

solve for y

3y+6=21

3y=21-6

3y=15

y=5 years

Find the value of x

x=2y  ----> x=2(5)=10 years

therefore

Roy is 10 years old at present

Joan is 5 years old at present

Over [174]

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. The money that is raised by Nina in the second month is $960.

<h3>What are Percentages?</h3>

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25 which is equal to 25%.

To convert a fraction to a percentage, convert the fraction to decimal form and then multiply by 100 with the '%' symbol.

Given that the money raised by Nina in the first month is $800, while the money raised by Nina in the second month is 20% more.

Therefore, the money raised by Nina in the second month is,

Money raised = $800 + 20% of $800

                       = $800 + 0.20($800)

                       = $800 + $160

                       = $960

Hence, the money that is raised by Nina in the second month is $960.
